Hi there, I'm new to the forum and been dealing with HA since I was 16 (now 24) I recently had a traumatic experience in London which developed into a Panic disorder which made me very sensitised to the simplist of bodily sensations (mainly heart palpitations and dizziness. My finger just can't keep away from my pulse these days it seems).
This is the first cold i've had since back in June (which i guess is pretty good going) Is it just me, or do all the symptoms just seem so much more exaggerated? I'm so incredibly achy, snottery nose, headache and faster heart rate like 80.
Where previously i wouldn't think twice about a cold, now i find myself doubting my body's ability to fight it :S
Usually when i have a panic attack i think i'm dying....so add a few more symptoms and i feel awful haha. I hope this clears up soon, i really don't want to add panic attacks to a run down body.
